Being John Malchovich

[giver of will]

I just watched this movie last night and its pretty crazy. This guy finds a portal in his office to John Malchovichs mind and becomes obsessed with it. Really trippy stuff. Has anyone else watched this?

A trio of remarkable films penned by Charlie Kaufman:
1. Being John Malkovich Dans la peau de John Malkovich (1999) 7.7 | Comedy, Drama, Fantasy
2. Adaptation Adaptation. (2002) 7.7 | Comedy, Drama
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) 8.3 | Drama, Romance, Sci-Fi

#'s 1 and 2 are hilarious. #3 can really mess with your head, unless you're very good at minding your realities.

My personal fav is #2, perhaps of all movies. Perhaps Meryl Streep eating psychedelic orchids has something to do with it.

Malkovich on SNL? Damn that was good! How'd I ever miss that!

So just for fun, this being The Nexus and all, a kind of portal unto itself... I googled John Malkovich + DMT. Got this Erowid report in return, some guy comparing snorting spice to being John Malkovich (in the movie):
5-MeO-DMT - Erowid Exp - 'Journey to the Center of the Onion'

I imagined the same thing when i watched it. What if other spirits or higher beings were just taking turns jumping into my brain whenever im tripping? Haha such a crazy movie.

Oh and the Eternal Sunshine movie was not what I expected, kinda disappointed in it.

I thought both #2 and #3 were too slow and drawn out. Eternal Sunshine was actually very predictable in my opinion. If its gonna be a drawn out movie I would prefer something like Enter The Void. Absolutely love it.
